Episode 675: Shinobi - Mission 1 (Patreon)

SMOKE BOMB! That's right, Diamond Feit is in the room with you and you had no idea until this very second. That's the power of the Ninja, powers I necessarily channeled as host of this podcast about Sega's premier shadowy assassin franchise, Shinobi.

In typical Retronauts fashion, Stuart Gipp, Thomas Ni©kel, and I put together a retrospective on what we thought was a long-dormant series literally hours before Sony announced a new entry coming this August. Fear not, for there are many Shinobi games to talk about yet; this is but Mission One which addresses the early years of Joe Musashi—and like Joe, we shall return!

For those curious, here's a link to a 2017 Brazillian interview with Yutaka Sugano I mentioned on the air.
